Costa Coffee

This Costa store does have 2 tables outside on the pavement front under a canopy .Inside you'll find its not the biggest of Costa stores,more longish & not the widest of spaces. There's probably about 20 tables available,not the brightest either in certain seating areas to the left ,very dim light.The staff counter & drink service was very pleasant indeed .Cash or Card payments are accepted here.There's just 2 toilets available at the rear of the store which isn't or shouldn't be a problem unlike today when 1 toilet was locked off & out of action !(Supposedly for cleaning but nobody was seen doing the job ! ).... resulting in 3 or 4 people queue forming. Not great customer satisfaction when Costa staff just kept passing by to & from the rear kitchen/store room .

The barista who served me today (4.30ish - sorry didn't think to catch his name), genuinely went above and beyond, could see I was overwhelmed and assisted in me getting in/out the shop with a drink in hand with my toddler. Kicking myself that I wasn't more overtly thankful, but thank you sir. Made a tired stressed mummas day a little easier

First time in this Costa Coffee. As usual the coffee is really nice and the staff are really friendly. Edit: Recent refit in May 2016.... nice inside, not much different than before, although the comfortable seats have been replaced with similar looking ones, but aren't as relaxing. Still a great place to go. ;-)
